The former footballer and singer are directors of JFR Enterprises Ltd which has cash assets of £708,095, according to the latest accounts.

Documents also show that as of July 31 2017, it had net assets of £292,709, after paying off outstanding bills.

The firm is described as “advertising agencies” on official documents.

And despite divorcing in December after 19 years together, there are no signs that Jamie 45, or Louise, 43, are set to step away from the firm.

The pair set up JFR in 2002 after Jamie joined Spurs from Liverpool and as Louise, 43, was pursuing her solo pop career.

The business is named after the pundit, whose full name is Jamie Frank Redknapp.

They split in July last year after Louise appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and decided she wanted to go back to singing and performing rather than being a housewife.

She later said: “I didn’t want to continue running around after everyone else, and occasionally promoting a yogurt or doing a little TV presenting job. I wanted to sing, I wanted to perform. I wanted to go back to work on a stage in front of an audience.”
